Trump’s pardon of Paul Walczak might be the most egregious of his criminal favors.
“Kirschner reminded viewers that Trump repeatedly promised to "protect Social Security" and to "back the blue [law enforcement]" while running for the presidency…”
But then…
“As the head of a Florida-based healthcare company that ran long-term care facilities, Walczak was convicted of failing to pay employment taxes and failing to file several years of individual tax returns. He was also ordered to pay more than $4 million in restitution. However, Kirschner said that Trump's pardon of Walczak betrayed both of those key campaign promises.’
I’d certainly say so. This guy seems like a real scumbag.
"What he was doing was taking Social Security, taking Medicare, taking Medicaid out of his salary, out of the payments he was making to nurses and healthcare employees, and what was he doing with it? Not delivering it to the United States government as he was required by law to do," Kirschner said. "He is lavishing himself with private jets, he's buying himself a $2 million yacht."
Ok, I see it now. Trump must be impressed. A criminal after his own heart, maybe?
"All of federal and local law enforcement agencies ... 'the blue' investigated these crimes for years," he continued. "Donald Trump pardons him. He doesn't only pardon him from his jail term, he says 'I am killing this court order that requires you to pay back the $4.4 million that you owe the federal government in Social Security.' So let's put it to the test. Protecting Social Security? My a--! Backing the blue? My a--. The blue is the one that investigated and helped bring charges in this case!"
